All stove founders everywhere construct
their fiues on the same general principle,
and their sole aim Is to insure drafts that
will quickly heat the ovens. To maintain
this, and bake very rapidly, it is absolutely
necessary to have as nearly as possible air
tight doors, which are now made fully non
conducting by being filled with asbestos.
Such stoves like Lowell 81 Lattemore's

caution is carefully and strictly taken, and
where there is no fault with chimneys, must
and always do prove satisfactory.

Tobacco in Venezuela.

An impression seems to prevail abroad that the ladies of Venezuela, being direct descend ants of the Spaniarels, are great smokers. I have made particular inquiries, but have found the contrary to be the case. How could it be different! !! The caraquennas show such excellent taste and so much refinement that they could not possibly stoop to such vices It seems, however, that certain elderly ladies occasionally enjoy good cigar when among themselves, but never in the society of gentle men. Probably they would indulge in it O little more if cigars and tobacco were better ill Venezuela But there are no good cigars to be had.
 The native tobacco, although grown in large quantity, is far below the average, and Havana cigars are very expensive. Of ciga- rettes, American or Turkish are almost un- known, and but those of Havana make are used. Among the women of the lower classes cigarette smoking is far more common, and women of @ certain, or, to express it more plainly, of an uncertain, age indulge great deal in cigar smoking. A curious and very general habit among them is smoking cigars inverted, with the burning end inside the mouth. have seen this frequently in the West India Islands, at Curacao, and among the women of Venezuela, but never noticed men indulging in this risky practice. They say cigars taste much better if smoked in this way, but must leave it to the readers to de eide for themselves.-E De Hesse Wartegg in New York Sun.

An IrreligiOus Mussulman.

Osnan.s chief characteristic is a reckless disregard for the conventionalities of social life and religion; he never seems to bother himself about either washing his person or saying his prayers Somewhere. not far away, every evening the faithful are sum- moned to prayer by muezzin with tie most musical and pathetic voice I have heard in all Islam. The voice of this muezzin calling "Allah-il-A-l-l-a-h' as it comes floating over the houses and gardens in the calm silence of the summer evenings is wonderfully inl- pressive.
 From the pulpits of all Christendon have yet to hear an utterance so full Of pathos and application or that carries with It the impressions of such deep sincerity as the ''Allah-il-A-l-l-a-h of this Afghan mpezzin in the Herat valley. It is supplication to the throne of grace that rings ip my ears even as I write months after, and it touches the heart of every Afghan within bearing and taps the fountain of their piety like magic. It calls forth responsive prayers and pious sighings from everybody around my bungalow but Osman. Osman can scarcely be called imperturbable, for hs has his daily and hourly moods and is of varying temper, but he carries himself al- ways as though conscious of being an outcast whom nothing can either elevate or defile When his fellow Mussulnans are piously prostrating themselves and uttering religious sighs sincere as falaticism can make them Osman is either curled up beneath pome- granate bush asleep, feeding the horse or att tending to the peewit.-Thomas Stevens in ()1tinU

was suddenly given us to 'Go on board. Most promptly it was obeyed. 1t meant great deal for us to be actually under the Stars and Stripes once more. But not till the boat cast loose and swung into the stream did we count ourselves truly out of Confederate hands.
 Then, too, the hearty welcome with which we were greeted; the good cheer, so dlHerent rom our miserable prison fare; and the kind faces smiling all around, showed in living colors that we were free men again.
 In regard to food, the great difficulty now was one we had not encountered for a year past-that of over eating! A years famine had made us terribly hungry, and we received cautions on this point which were not unneedful Nothing in the ratlons were more enjoyed than the tin cup of good coffee which was given to us all-genuine coffee was something which we had not tasted inside the rebel lines and l am not certain that I have found any as good since! No place on the boat seemed more homelike than the engine room, where I sat and ate slowly for a long time. The working of the strong machinery which seemed impelling us lovingly homeward was about as much company as wanted for the time
 Down the river we went in delirious dream of rapturel We were scarcely conscious of passing events. Probably no emotion on earth has greater sweep and intensity than the wild throbbing sen sations that rush thick and fast through the bosom of the liberated captive.

An Eating House Where Hebrew Epf.
 cures Congregate-Some Cheap Places.
 Kocha is a Hebrew word signifying "clean,n and kocha restaurant is one where the Mosaic law regarding the preparation of food is observed to the letter. There are sev- eral of these places in New York, aI of them well patronized, for strictly orthodox Jew seldom eats elsewhere away from his own table,
 The Delmonico of the Israelites is Lustig His restaurant is on Mercer strest, in the heart of the dry goods district, and his chef is a German Jew. Here at midday the wealthy Hebrews of the vicinity congregate for luncheon For forty cents an admirable meal is served il the German style of cook ing. It consists of several courses, barley or chicken soup, boiled beef or Hamburger steak, with fried potatoes and sauerkraut, veal outlet, roast duck or broiled chicken, with salad, and compete of prunes and raisins or some delicate pastry. A dish of the choicest fruit and jar of celery stands always on the table. A small cup of black coffee completes the meal. No butter is served with the bread. No milk or milk product is allowed in the restaurant, the Mosaic law expressly forbidding the eating of milk and meat in any form at the same time. For this reason the Jew drinks his coffee clear or abstains from it altogether
 At monday Lustig's is always crowded with Hebrews of a distinctively German type. A spirit of jollity pervades the place, and for time all thought of business is cast aside. This is especially true on feast days, when the menu is considerably amplifed. On such occasions poultry of all kinds is served; turkeys, ducks, chickens, geese. snipe, quail, whatever fowl is in season can be had fresh, and cooked deliciously with herbs and spices On fast days Lustig's and all the strictly kocha restaurants are closed. On the great cast side of the city, in Essex, Norfolk, Ludlow and adjoining streets, Ghere are many so called kocha restaurants They are kocha, however, only in name, as the ser vice is filthy and the food scarcely fit to eat. Any one passing through the Jewish quarter may see them. They are mostly small rooms in the cellars or upon the ground floors of tenements, furnished with a few wooden tables and chairs, with bill of fare, printed in Hebrew characters, hanging outside the door. In the windows the shrunken car casses of geese are allowed to hang until blackened with exposure.
 | A substantial meal, such as 1t is, can be purchased in any of these places for fror, eight to fifteen cents. A favorite dish here is fish stew, strongly favored with garlic and redolent with odor. A strictly orthodox Hebrew would turn in horror from such res taurants, for the underlying principle of the Mosaic law concerning food is cleanliness. - New York Evening Sun.

 partial darkness left by the glimmering of lights; discordant calling of names, a careful inspection of each man to see that none went but those intended; and then we formed in the courtyard for the march toward freedom. We fell into two lines and when all was ready we passed again into the office, were carefully counted, and with bounding hearts passed out ward through the dreaded portals of Castle Thunder-the same portal through which we had passed inward more than three months before. There was all the hope of the morning in this coming out!
 We halted on the pavement until per fectly formed, and then, with the guard, marched through the muddy, unlighted streets for many squares. There were a number of sick in our company, but not one of them was willing to be left behind; and as the rebels had neglected to provide any conveyances, we helped them-each being supported between two stronger men, and thus with circling arms they were able, at the expense of much suffer- ing in some cases-to accompany us the

 Seated in comparatively comfortable cars, with no ropes or irons upon us, and but Q weak guard, and with deep peace and content in our hearts, we glided out of the rebel capital-to see it no more till all that had belonged to rebel power had passed away 'Iike the baseless fabric of q vision, and left not a wrack behind.'' The unwonted light dazzled our eyes. Tho motion of the cars was an intoxicatiOn. This was happiness indeed. The thoughts and visions of the night were lived over again in scarcely less bright waking dreams. I tried to look at the country through which we were passing, but my preoccupatiOn was so great that could scarcely see it at all.
 Petersburg was reached with no notable incident; then after but 8 short detention train passed around a curve about il o'clock we saw very large steamboat in the river; we had seen none such since we left our own Ohio. But there was some thing still better than the boat. Waving over it in the morning breeze was the "Flag of the free.' I seized the comrade next me and shot ted, "Hurrah, boys; hurrah! there's our fag!' They needed no prompting; indeed some in the forward cars had seen it sooner than had. Cheer after cheer went up from the whole train; some of the guards were discontented at our vehemence and said, ''Stop that noise, there's no use in making such a fuss;" but we did not stop. This was the first time we had seen that banner for eleven long months, and it meant to us life, home, freedom, country-everything which men love; and tears and shouts intermingled till we drew up at the station but a short distance from the truce boat State of Maine.
 From it's side issued a long procession of prisoners, $50 in number, who did not seem to be nearly so much rojoiced as we

FountainlesS London.

London is fountainless city. It is not for want of urging; we have before now pointed out that there are many hooks and corners in London which would be almost beautified by the addition of little water in an ornamc,l- tai form. We have, of course, the Trafalgar square squirts, but they are only apologies for fountains. We want something really beautiful and refreshing to the eye, not that miserable sort of thing which has given tho nickname of Squirt square, to the space be- hind the Town hall in Birmingham.

Of more distant objects I have no recollection whatever. In fact, was dazed almost equally by the brightness of open daylight and by the happy coming of this long ex- pected day. I could not, however, help being struck by the contrast between the sets of prisoners. Those on the Confed- crate side looked strong and hearty; their clothing was whole, neat and clean; but on our side all the number were in the last extremity of raggedness, dirt and cancellation. I have totally forgotten whether any breakfast was given us that morning or not-a matter of small mo- ment when we had been obliged to starve through so many longer journeys

It is surprising to be told, as we arc by a writer who is an experienced yachtsman, that dark tanned sails are much more easily dis tinguished at night than arc white ones. Tho same remark holds true of buoys, which are seen against the water and not against the sky. In their case, black can be seen farther and moro distinctly than white in the light time.

That is the only idea. that is the only
correct idea, that the immense stock of pants
on Fiske & Beems counters conveys. The
fact is, that the pants stock is overcrowded
and to make reduction in quantity, the
public is offered exceptional bargains.
Fiske & BEEN always offer exceptional
bargains, but these are out of the usual run
Don't get the idea that they are cheap, film
sy, worthless goods, for cheap goods are not
what you are looking for, you want good
goods at low price, and that is just what
is offered in the great pants sale. Pants as
low as good cloth and never rip sewing
can make them, there is no room for profit.
Medium and fine pants in the same ratio.
A big variety in class and size. You cant
buy pants cheaper anywhere than here, be-
cause if you buy cheap cloth it will not
wear half as long as good cloth at the Same
price. You never saw such bargains any
where, and the stock cannot possibly last
long at these prices. FIsKE & BEEN.

For the HOLIDAYS.

II is Just an impossible feat to attempt in
the space at our command to tell just what
the week has or has not developed In the way
Of new holiday goods at IL. j. Gillen's; for as
predicted on last Saturday by us the goods
have been coming in, case after case. When
we say that the house contains every possible
novelty in seasonable specialties, we must
presume the ladies have some idea OF what Ia
meant and that Q catalogue Is unnecessary.
The fact Is, that everything for ladies, misses
and children, and great many things for the
male gentry are in stock, and also great
many other things that few would expect to
find articles to take single article Of choice
perfumery, such as you pay 40c an ounce for
In the drug stores here sold at just about
half that fgure)-articles that have in past
seasons been called for and now for the first
time introduced.
The main point, however, to impress on the
buyer is, that while the public should know
what is meant by Everything" a dry goods
house should have, they must further under
stand that prices also will be made as satisfac-
tory as the stock; and We are convinced the
caller will find that prices this year will show
up to be much lower than they anticipated.
We might add that the line of cloaks is still
practically unbroken-all sizes and grades are
In stock; and that to close out as rapidly as
possible extra inducements will be offered.
As much may be said touching the line OF
beaver and other shawls and dress goods; sc
that exceptional bargains may be obtained In
these lines for an extra valuable Christmas
gift.
All requested to call and see the stock.
